Page "Jacob Neusner" Paragraph 17

Some scholars are critical of Neusner's methodology, and assert that many of his arguments are circular or attempt to prove " negative assumptions " from a lack of evidence ( e. g., Cohen, Evans, Maccoby, Poirier, Sanders ).

Others are critical of Neusner's reading and interpretations of Rabbinic texts, finding that his account is forced and inaccurate ( e. g., Cohen, Evans, Maccoby, Poirier and in detail, Zuesse ).
